One of California's problems which grows more acute every year, is the question of a more complete life for the elderly people of the state. With a population growing by leaps and bounds, and a theory developed some years ago that age 65 was a good time in life to retire, the situation has backfired and the state finds itself with more than a million people who have reached the so-called retirement age at which they become eligible for old-age assistance if needed. But many of the older people are not content to retire at 65, feeling that their years of usefulness to society are not complete. This results in many of the tragedies of old age, which have origin in the employment pattern ways and means of developing more employment opportunities for these older workers, who are willing and anxious to continue in the labor market as long as their health and strength holds out. Defense manpower needs are likely to help this objective for the time being, at least, but the problem must be attacked on a long range planning basis. Employment will not be the only phase of old age which the conference will consider, however. There will be panels dealing with social welfare services, which have assumed a highly important place in the lives of the elders; recreation, physical and mental health, income maintenance, housing, education and with more than a million people who have reached the so-called retirement age at which they become eligible for old-age assistance if needed. But many of the older people are not content to retire at 65, feeling that their years of usefulness to society are not complete. This results in many of the tragedies of old age, which have origin in the employment pattern compelling a person to retire at a set age regardless of whether he is able and desires to continue working and remain self-supporting. To set the details of this problem down on paper and attempt to effect some solution to the situation which affects nearly 10 per cent of the people in the state, Governor Earl Warren has called a conference on problems of the aging, which will be held in Sacramento, Oct. 15 and 16. This conference will be similar in detail to other conferences the governor has called on state-wide problems in the past, notably, on problems of youth and crime. Its purpose will not be to do anything directly concerning the aged, but to set the wheels of state government in motion to assist in pointing up the problem, see what, if anything can be done, and assign different phases of the problem to different state agencies. For, as it is pointed out, this is one problem which cannot be solved in a short space of time. One of the principal objectives of the conference, it has been announced, will be to explore IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anabeim Gazette By MRS.

Mr. Henry Hammel of the United States hotel, Los Angeles, was in town last evening. Messrs. Anderson and Huntington were elected delegates to the Employment will not be the only phase of old age which the conference will consider, however. There will be panels dealing with social welfare services, which have assumed a highly important place in the lives of the elders; recreation, physical and mental health, income maintenance, housing, education and community organization. In calling the conference, the governor said "it has long been California's wish that its elder citizens be able to live with a degree of economic security that permits them to retain self-respect, self-reliance, and a feeling of usefulness." Also, the conference in a manner of speaking will combat some of the propagandizing done by promoter George McLain's pension group in Los Angeles. McLain has an initiative coming up which would increase old age pensions, a move opposed by the state Chamber of Commerce. And Adrien J. Falk, president of the state Chamber of Commerce, is chairman of the conference. Conferences come and conferences go — usually without much interest for the public. This one might be well worth watching — because everybody one day or another will get old. And, what more could you ask than to be able to live, as Mr. Warren says, "with a degree of economic security that permits retaining self-respect, self-reliance and a feeling of usefulness." Still others insist that retaliation is the answer. What we can do to the enemy blinds them to what the enemy can do to us. They forget the trigger for our retaliation will be a mass atomic attack on our own cities. Then, another group, the ostrich thinkers, insist that no nation would dare attack this country because nobody ever has, and besides we are too strong. Some, bored with crisis after crisis, wake up now and then, say "it can't happen here," and doze off again. The timid pin their hope on Russian backwardness and say, "that atomic explosion in Russia wasn't really the bomb." While the pseudo-strategists grope in a smog of truth, half-truth and fantasy, time is run- By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Ex-Senator Maclay says that the San Fernando tunnel will be finished in five days and that by next Tuesday the first locomotive will pass through it. General Colton has written to the Senator, assuring him that the whole road will be completed to San Francisco, in about four weeks. The Southern Pacific managers will extend an invitation to the mayor and other leading citizens of San Francisco to participate in an excursion to Los Angeles when connection is made. It is expected the new bank will be ready for its occupants very shortly. H. S. Austin has sold two more of the celebrated Aldrich windmills of which he is agent. The purchasers are J. B. Tombes of Anaheim and D. C. Hayward of Orange. The San Diego Union of Friday last says: "Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Selbert received their friends last night prior to their departure for Anaheim. They will leave us next week." There are 44 pupils in the Anaheim grammar school department, 28 in the intermediate department and 52 in the primary department, making a total of 134 pupils. An attempt was made on Thursday evening to enter the home of Mrs. Kuelp. Two panes of glass were taken from the windows—one pane was broken and the other removed entirely from the sash. Mr. Henry Hammel of the United States hotel, Los Angeles, was in town last evening. Messrs. Anderson and Huntington were elected delegates to the Republican convention from Orange. The Board of Equalization will commence its session at Kroeger's hall this evening. 50 Years Ago Sheriff Lacy was in town on Tuesday, summoning witnesses in the robbery case of Joe Lopez, charged with rolling one Cooper while drunk. The case will be called for trial Sept. 3. Judge Oster of San Bernardino will try the case in the absence of Judge Ballard who is away on his vacation. Otto Rust was in Los Angeles Monday, conferring with nine men relative to the price of grapes. He learned the price for wine grapes will this season be about $18 per ton, which is the highest price ever paid, with the exception of one year (the year previous to the destruction of the vines by the blight) when the price rose to $22 per ton. The price has ranged as low as $12. Mr. Rush has made wine each year uninterruptedly for 25 years being in that respect the only wine maker here who has run his press- 25 Years Ago Dr. B. S. Haywood delivered the sermon at the community service in the City park Sunday evening, an audience of nearly 1000 being in attendance at the service. One of the feature exhibits at the Orange County Fair is the collection of bird's eggs to be shown by John R. Nichols of Garden Grove. Mrs. Fannie L. Stanley is chairman of the aviculture committee and has been assured by a number of county bird men that they will exhibit. Fred Dierker, Santa Ana Aviary, will put in an aviary and also have a fine display of fish. WE'LL HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS DOOR...

The pseudo-strategists a smog of truth, half-fantasy, time is run- war. Too many seem unable to grasp the fact that we can lose a war. Their stock answers are: If it takes production, we'll outproduce the enemy. If it takes atomic bombs, we'll build bigger and better atomic bombs. If they hit us, we'll hit'em harder. These prevalent American beliefs are ingrained, basic but, unfortunately, stop short of an adequate answer to the sharp question sired by reality. They were incomplete by three things—red imperialism, the global bomber and the atomic bomb. This trio has forced on Americans a whole new concept of war. Today or any day, America itself can become a battleground. Civilians are the first targets in this new kind of war. If the enemy first smashes the home front, the military may have little left to fight for and less to fight with. The Kremlin knows that our American home front must be knocked out quickly, if it is to be knocked out at all. For this reason, the first attack must be a grand slam using all the modern terror weapons. Those who doubt the likelihood of war on the home front should heed what Representative Clarence Cannon, chairman of the House Appropriations committee, had to say on the floor April 9. He said: "If war comes—which God forbid—it will be fought in this country as well as abroad." General Vandenberg (speaking for the Air Force) said that "In spite of all our radar fences, our walls of shipping, our networks of communication and our clouds of interceptor planes, 70 per cent of the enemy planes carrying atomic bombs would get through. We might as well face that fact. 'Christ Jesus' Topic At Christian Science Church on Sunday How Jesus, who was the son of a virgin, demonstrated the eternal Christ, will be portrayed in the Bible Lesson on "Christ Jesus" in all Christian Science churches Sunday. This assertion of Jesus from John's Gospel will be the Golden Text: "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do" (5:19).

The man we are going to throw the bouquet at is a person w have never met, never talked to and the reason for the bouquet solely on the basis of his thinking about the needs of the citr industry. We wish to stress, again and again, that all this is purely objective, that we do not know this young man, but hope to some day, that we belong to the California Fruit Growers Exchange and have been taught to look down our nose and be suspicious of anyone who does not. Yep, that's right, and for a long time we almost believed that stuff. Don't laugh, a few still do. But to get right down to figures and "on-the-record" statement this young man, Robbins Russel, general manager of the Mutual O ange Distributors, gives the first promise of constructive leadership that the California citrus industry has had in many years. To pro that statement is the reason for this article. And it also carries the hope that the "needle" will stir some othe other "boys" and U-NO-HOO, out of their beds of security (ho do you like that one.) and get them on the firing line ON THE GROWER'S SIDE.

General Vandenberg (speaking for the Air Force) said that "in spite of all our radar fences, our walls of shipping, our networks of communication and our clouds of interceptor planes, 70 per cent of the enemy planes carrying atomic bombs would get through. We might as well face that fact. Every center of production, every center of wealth and population and civilization would be devastated. We have only to look at the cities in Germany to see how the cities of America would look within one week after war started." W. Stuart Symington, while chairman of NSRB, said "who can be a bigger fool than the fool who continues to fool himself, especially when his own existence is at stake." Those who will read the record must see where the 20 year pattern of Russian imperialism leads. The retaliationists have an empty answer. To deyastate Russian cities would not restore our own. Unrealistic thinking has sapped our strength and robbed us of precious time. No American city is prepared to cope with an enemy attack. We must use our time wisely and well. There is no time for fatalism or fantasy. SERMON TOPIC "Communism, Christianity, and the Common Man," will be the sermon topic of the Rev. Frank Butterworth at the regular Sunday morning services at the White Temple Methodist church. almost believed that stuff. Don't laugh, a few still do. But to get right down to figures and "on-the-record" statements this young man, Robbins Russel, general manager of the Mutual Oversee Distributors, gives the first promise of constructive leadership that the California citrus industry has had in many years. To prove that statement is the reason for this article. And it also carries the hope that the "needle" will stir some of the other "boys" and U-NO-HOO, out of their beds of security (how do you like that one.) and get them on the firing line ON THE GROWER'S SIDE. RUSSEL CAME out with four, in his thinking, vital citrus industry needs: (1) More dependable and consistent quality in our fresh fruit to the consumer level. Have you never heard from eastern and even Los Angeles friends that they can't seem to buy our citrus and get real quality? So any grower should be in favor of broadening consumer confidence in and satisfaction with the quality of our fresh fruit. (2) Improved price mechanism. Now here is where we really see eye to eye with this man Russel. He says: "present 'trigger-happy' system has failed to give us the results and stability required to merchandise fruit with the maximum effectiveness that present day methods require. We must work not only for stabilized quality, but stabilized prices as well." That is talking sense to our way of thinking. To quote Russel further: "Stability of prices, when attained, will expose our fruit to the full impact of the magnificent techniques of modern retail merchandising, THUS FREEING OUR RETAILERS FROM THE NEED OF BEING SPECULATORS." THAT IS one great reason Florida is making such suckers out of California oranges. Since Florida Mutual came into the picture the retail price of Florida fresh fruit went up and down according to the market. The retailer knew what to expect from Florida fruit—and he bought it. Back to Russel: "Under the present system prices (of California oranges) are alternately pushed through the roof—out of the reach of the average consumer, only to fall drastically a few days or weeks later. Our fruit deserves better treatment than that." It certainly does and for the simple reason that this very thing makes the retail chary of it. How long will the California grower put up with the small group which has saddeled this sort of thing on the California industry? We doff the bonnet to Mr. Russel. If these ideas were followed the California grower would be in clover. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER ENSENADA, BAJA CALIFORNIA—This is a quiet, unrified and restful little city some 75 miles south of the border, cradled by what world-travelers have described as the most beautiful bay in the Western Hemisphere, a fishing port offering all of the traditions of Old Mexico yet not being in the most modern accommodations and conveniences for the U.S. tourist whose boats are stashed full of dollars, wise chamber of commerce seems to it that this city will turn into another Tijuana. No hotels here. There are only two clubs where "B" girls open, and they are under strictillance of the police. Saturdy commercial fishing and mining industry provides Ensenada with a healthy economy, and near-round flow of U.S. tour-currency helps things along. Abundance of fish provide the best lure for the visitor, but are countless other attractions. The hinterland abounds with beaches, and the surrounding mountains provide good sport for the hunter. Deer, game birds, contain lions, U.S. tourists other beasts are plentiful. Mexican roads are notoriously out to see some of the sights here, one must get off the on path. Sunday we drove 15 miles of dirt road (in one mile) to the Russian colony of Calaupe located in a great valleys north of Enla, and inland. We live about 25 families ofans, all that remains of a once thriving agricultural community. bers of the colony follow the Mo-lokan religion, although the younger generation takes little interest in the church. The colony flourished until 1946 when a devastating four-year drought laid bare the fields and all but wiped out the colony. Rainfall is still scant, and the remaining colonists fight a losing battle with the parched, unyielding land. When the drought hit, the Russian families started moving to Los Angeles where the men found employment in textile mills. The exodus to the States continues, with five families having left the colony this summer. Andrew says in a few years the colony will be deserted. The Gualalupe colony is strictly free enterprise, with each family working its own farm, and, for the record, Andrew thinks Joseph Stalin is a "stinker." Maintained in the colony is a school which all children attend six hours a day from September through May. Old world traditions and customs linger on, and the women make their own clothes, grind their own corn and make their own bread. Automobiles are scarce.

You don't toss it down like whiskey. First you gnaw on a piece of lime or lemon, then you gulp the drink, then you swallow a pinch of salt. The effect is rather slow, but it is always sure. After a minute or two, everything begins to look better, and you feel strangely self-confident. You feel that you can speak Spanish fluently, and you say to the bartender: "Camino sinuoso." This means "winding road," and he smiles knowingly, dishing up another shot of tequila. After this one, everything suddenly takes on a brilliant orange tinge, someone drops a plano on your head, and your wife drags you back to the motel. Buenos noches!
